Tennyson is lasting. His girls are
all OF golden hair. So are his men fol-
that matter. But we respect his cold,
golden haired girls. Wedon't love them.
They send chill through you; yet it is
q respectable chill. They are girls you
would like to have for sisters. He lis
the poet who has evolved from icy re-
spectability the girl of blonde hair, tall,
gentle, whom you can worship for moth
ingness Of brain, but large, pale aristoc-
racy Of manner, and you could go out Of
the world in death without regret Of her;
but you would know that she fcould be
trusted not to violate the gentlest nicely
of life Such girl Tennyson has put
into his poe..s. Shakespeare created
Miranda; Tennyson has created girl

The National studs of France.

Tho National studs OF france.
Live Stock Record.
No government exercises an influence
upon the horse breeding of it's country
equal to that of France. Under the
minister of agriculture department ex-
lists that e1pends 100000 annually,
for the promotion of horse breeding.
This department comprises twenty two
great national studs, in which are kept
$500 of the finest bred stations, that
during the breeding season are distribu-
ted for service throughout the country.
Large members of Percherons are owned
by TIE government, whose preference for
this breed is plainly indicated by the
following emphatic language in speech
at the great Percheren horse exhibition
Of France this year, by the minister Of
agriculture, N. Dsville. who said: II
must not forget, gentlemen, the reason
of this fete. Allow me therefore to speak
Of the Peraheron horses, and congratu-
late you on the successful efforts you
tave made to perfect and to perpetuate
the grand old race of the Perche; q race
that is by far the best il MT the only
true race in France. Under the direc-
ton of distinguished men the Societe
Hippique Percheronne has become large
and powerful and to-day it is controlling
and. guiding the whole Of the breed
ing district. The Societe possesses its
Golden Book and after having seen
this concours. can say without fear Of
saying too mach, that the government
means to give the whole Of it's power, In
auence and support to the Societe
Hppique Perchernnne which by
ts stud book, is keeping up the true
breed" The minister's regard for this
breed is further shown in his subse-
Iuentiy ordering the purchase of fifty
registered Perche.on stations this sea-
on for the government studs.

Henry Watterson in "a.
Atlanta Constitution.

| Atlanta Constitution.
An interesting story is told about
Henry Waterson's connection with the
Cincinnati Times, which, during the war
times and just afterward, prided itself
on being the most extreme union paper
in the west.
One day in 1854, SO the story goes.
Watterson went through the lines and
to Cincinnati on business connected with
a cotton claim. He also went to the
Office of the Cincinnati Times.
Mr.. Francisco, the business manage,
was sitting at his desk in the counting
room on Third street, when a medium
sized gentleman stepped up to to the
counter and asked to see the business
manager. He was dressed in a suit of
rebel gray, with cavalry Jacket that was
decidedly the worse for wear, being out
of the elbows, and had close observer
noticed the northern portion as he went
south, flag of truce could have been
seen. he was as brown as berry from
exposure of the southern sun during the
campaign, and possibly 80 years of sge
at that time. Substantially the follow
ing conversation took place:
II would like to speak to the business
manager If he is in?' az
II am the person you are inquiring
for" replied Mr.. Francisco, "what can
I do for your"
II was informed that you wanted an
editor, and I would like to have the posi-
ton" II would prefer the leading writer"
was the reply of Mr.. Watterscn.
"Do you know the tone of the Iinaes9"
Eyes, sir; rank union"
"Would that be consistent with the
uniform you are now wearingw refer
ring to the rebel gray clothing.
Perfectly so. I write to please you;
il you like it you adopt it; if it comedies
with your views you adopt, publish, and
become responsible for it's utterances,
and if not, you consign it to the waste
basket. There is no reason why man
should not be employed to do brain
work the same as he is to do manual
labor. No one pretends that manual
laborers should not receive instructions
from their employers as to how certain
work should be done and it is vagary
to assume that brain labor should not
be placed on the same grounds
with this understanding you can
write couple of editorials and if they
are suitable you shall have employ
ment."
Mr.. Watterson left the Office and in q
couple of hours returned with two edi-
torials that were gems. He was en-
ployed and held the position for more
than year, giving general satisfaction.

Reported Cure For Leprosy.

The Catholic Missions, q German
monthly publication publishes letter
nom Father Damian, the missionary
priest in the leper settlement at Molokai,
which contains the following passage:
For about twenty years our most dis
tinguished phys clans tried everv poss-
able means to master this dreadful dis
ease; but all their efforts failed to check
the spread Of the distemper. About
three years ago white man was secized
with leprosy. Being very wealthy, he
prefer. ed to 60 to Japan rather Thea t.
submit to a lifelong exile in Molokai.
In Japan he continued for two years
course of hydropathic treatment under
DR.. Goto. He returned theer, accompa-
MED by son Of DR.. Goto, with every
appearance Of perfect cure. About the
end of last year the health committee re-
solved to introduce, under the supervision
OF DR.. Goto, the Japanese treatment into
the leper hospital, which is in the charge
OF Franciscan Sisters at Kakaako. near
Honolulu. Already then I felt inclired
to go to Honolulu to consult DR.. Goto
about the disease, which had already
made havoc with ore of my ears. At
this time, how ever, my superiors did not
consider the step advis able. Last July,
however, had occasion to personally
satisfy myself Of the success which had
attended the treatment in question in the
hospital of the Sisters at Kakaako, and to
carefully observe it's method, which con-
sists in this: Every day the leper has
to take two baths in hot water in which
a cenrtain quantity Of japanese medicine
has been dissolved. After every meal he
has to take a small pill, and an hour
later an ounce Of tea prepared from the
bark of Japanese tree. This is the
whole treatment. Both young DR.. Goto
and the white patient, of whom I made
mention above, have assured me that in
Japan many leper has been completely
cured by this treatment. Whatever
truth there be in this statement, must
own that the improvement during these
six months in the condition of many
lepers, whose illness was already in a
very developed state, has been simply
marvellous. I think myself, therefore,
justified in seeing in this treatment
glimmer Of hope for our poor outcast
lepers of Molokai. King Kalakaua and
his prime minister honored me with
visit during my short stay at Kakaako.
near Honolulu. They told me it was
their intention to introduce the same
system in our great leper settlement. I
look forward with satisfaction to the dav
on which we shall receive steam boiler
which may heat about fifteen bath, tubs
at the same time. For few weeks I
have undergone the treatment in ques-
ton. At the same time commenced
the treatment with about forty to fifty of
my orphan children. We have already
derived some benefit from it. My work
seems lighter and my strength is return
ing. Last Sunday for instance, I said
two masses and preached during ecah
without being obliged to sit down and
without feeling particularly wearied.

The lovely rectory of Braintree has
long been my home, and the "shy
curate" the best and most devoted of
husbands. Little does the title apply
to him now! Beloved and respected by
his parishioners, and known far beyond
his own little circle for conspicuous tai
ents, my home is all and more than
could wish; and as the fourteenth OF
February again approaches, recalling
the happiest event of my life, with what
different feelings do I greet it from
when, ten years ago, I sat in my lonely
lodgings, thinking sadly of "my Valen-
tines days" of the past.
